Inspired by my Spanish class this evening, I came home to cook a Mexican-inspired Mahi Mahi with black bean and corn salsa. I've never cooked fish without a broiler before, so this was big for me. My serendipitous leftovers--half a tomato, almost wilted cilantro, cooked black beans, accidentally frozen ear of corn--led to this enticing combination!
If anybody else has low-tech (read: no broiling pan or grill) fish recipes, send them my way! I am emboldened by tonight's attempt.
Salsa:
heat 1 capfull evoo over medium-high heat
add 1/2 onion (chopped) and one ear corn (cut off cob) and saute until the onions don't taste nasty
add 1/2 cup black beans, 1T lime juice, 1t chili powder
cook until beans are warm
remove from stove, add 1/2 tomato (chopped), a handful of chopped cilantro, and ground pepper/salt to taste
Fish:
Rub fish with 1 capfull evoo
heat 1 capfull evoo over medium-high heat (use same pan as you did for the above)
place fish in pan and wait until it smokes a little bit
flip fish and wait until it flakes a little bit
Top fish with salsa and enjoy!

Bonito!!!!!
Your pan fry technique is impressive. You can also brown each side and then complete the cooking by poaching in wine or stock. Or some things are fine just poached - - like haddock, for example.

Wow! That looks really good. Go you. Nice pictured I haven't been cooking much lately since I was in Tahoe last weekend and now Oliver is in Germany for two weeks, so now when I cook I have leftovers!
Love,
Jo
